If you've been breaking the speed limit while on the A500 today (Monday) then there's a good chance you've been caught.

Officers from the Central Motorway Police Group have been monitoring motorists on the D-Road and in just one minute they caught three speeding drivers breaking a 50mph limit - they were travelling at speeds of 67, 68 and 72mph.

The crackdown is one of a number of operations carried out by police to snare speeding motorists. Earlier this month, on December 14, officers were out on the A500 and recorded 28 drivers ignoring the 50mph speed limit.

In that operation officers set up on the bridge near to the Sideway roundabout where the fastest recorded speed was 74mph.

In addition a number were spotted not wearing seatbelts.
